Cheers... I shall look through your "About" page tomorrow, after I get home from my errands. It'll be a real treat, as I love your work.

I know about your dark side -- beats me why you need one since you're on the flip side of the world anyway.

LOL! Not sure about "needing" one - my life would have been very different, and probably a lot better, without my illness (which I'm glad to say, is in remission at the moment.) And yes, I know you know about my "dark" side - or rather, one of them... but erm, yeah, I'll FReepmail you more about that. Suffice to say here, that my writing may not be what you're expecting. I'd appreciate your thoughts, though, as a fellow writer - even if it's "not your cup of tea".

"... if I edit and help you publish and promote your book of poetry and prose ..."

I don't think anybody's going to be able to absolve me of my editorial duties, more's the pity. It's not something I look forward to. I've been printing out my poems, in order to try to physically arrange them in some kind of order for the two books of Poetry I envision. Ye Gods!

What a mess o' rhymin'!

Where I really fall down and need help is with marketing. That too, is something which does not come naturally to me, yet publication without promotion is a wasted effort.

I think the poetry books are in serious need of illustration, too. Possibly my best hope for that is a local artist who is quite talented, but who I believe thinks that I am an irresponsible reprobate.

At least I know he's a good judge of character. If I can get him to overcome his scruples, I'm sure we could collaborate effectively.

Then it's just a matter of getting into the public eye. Maybe painfully.

Someone probably added keywords. It's taking much longer to load now, even though I have DSL.

They just can't seem to resist being silly.

We need to discuss this marketing thing further. I'm no professional, but I do have a lot of talent in the promotional/marketing field (I just can't sell my own work, lol!) I've been helping a friend with her self-publishing venture recently, too (and there was a girl in dire need of an editor, not a consummate professional like yourself!)

Anyway, yeah... we must discuss this idea further, and soon...Right now, though, I gotta dash - computer battery's running flat on me, and it's after midnight on this side of the planet.

Goodnight!

...And there, in one sentence, you've summed up the entire Undead Thread ethos! Well done... we can take down those keywords now, and just replace them with that sentence!

Minerva is A-Okay! Just need to reduce the amount of food she gets everyday, since she's reached her full size.

Glad to hear it! Agnes had a problem with wait gain, and would get infections when she got really heavy. Always one thing or another with pets!

"Agnes had a problem with wait gain ..."

I get a bit of that myself from time to time. While waiting for my wife to finish yacking or something, the wait gets longer and longer.

Morning, DC!
That was really inconsiderate of us, wasn't it? Especially since you've been so darn busy with so many other things.
